1911 International Lawn Tennis Challenge
The International Lawn Tennis Challenge 1911 was the 10th edition of the competition organized by the ITF for men's national teams in tennis. After the tournament had been canceled in the previous year, the start of this year's edition due to bad weather had to be laid on 29 December 1911 so that the games actually only took place from 1 to 3 January 1912.
As in the years 1908 and 1909 reached the final challenger USA, and had there the defending Australasia defeated, the so won his fourth consecutive title.
For the first time in the history of the International Lawn Tennis Challenge was the team allowed in meaningless games ( that is, when the game scores 3-0, 4-0 or 3-1 ) to use replacement players.
